1. What NEUROMADE CAPSULES are and what they are used for
Neuromade capsules are an association of the water-soluble vitamins of the B group: thiamine (vitamin B1), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), and cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) for oral administration.
Vitamins are essential nutrients that are involved in numerous human metabolic processes.
Neuromade capsules are indicated in adults and patients over 14 years of age, in:
Treatment of states of deficiency of vitamins B1, B6, and B12, which could cause neuropathies (diseases of the peripheral nervous system) and could manifest in cases of back pain, such as lumbalgia. Convalescence. Insufficient diet.
2. Before taking NEUROMADE CAPSULES
Do nottake NEUROMADE capsules
- if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to the active substances, to cobalamins (e.g., hydroxocobalamin), to cobalt, or to any of the other components of the medicine (see section 6).
- if you are being treated with levodopa (a medicine for Parkinson's disease).
- if you have Leber's disease (hereditary optic nerve atrophy) or tobacco amblyopia (decreased visual acuity that can occur in people who abuse tobacco), as they may worsen.
Due to the doses of vitamins it contains, do not take this medicine:
- if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- children under 14 years of age.
Be careful with NEUROMADE capsules
- Do not take a higher dose than recommended or for a longer period than recommended. When high doses of pyridoxine (vitamin B6) are administered continuously, adverse neurological effects (headache, tingling sensation, etc.) may occur. Cases of dependence and withdrawal have been reported when taking 200 mg of pyridoxine for a month.
- As it contains vitamin B12, if you have a blood disease such as anemia, your doctor should check the cause before taking it.
- If you are prone to gout, due to the content of vitamin B12, your doctor should perform a special clinical check, as it may worsen.
- If you have kidney or liver disease, do not take this medicine, as the doses it contains exceed the recommended doses in these situations.
- If you have conditions such as uremia (accumulation of urea in the blood), infections, iron or folic acid deficiency, or are being treated with medicines that have a suppressive effect on the bone marrow (e.g., chloramphenicol), the therapeutic response to vitamin B12 may decrease.
- You should be careful with the sun or avoid exposure to it, as pyridoxine can cause photosensitivity with skin lesions.
- If you have previously suffered from an allergy to vitamin B1 on skin contact (contact dermatitis) for professional reasons, you may experience a relapse when taking this medicine.
- Interference with analytical tests: If you are going to undergo any diagnostic test (including blood tests, urine tests, skin tests that use allergens, etc.), inform your doctor that you are taking this medicine, as it may alter the results. In some determinations of urobilinogen, theophylline, and uric acid, false results may occur.
